According to the police report, Lopez’s fiancé contacted officers after he did not return home from the OK Corral nightclub at 2300 N MacArthur Blvd. Friday night.

“They didn’t know where he was,” said Knight. “They had not seen him since he was last seen at the bar, certainly that was unusual of him to just disappear like that and that was when police were notified.”

The police report states Lopez drove his truck, a 2014 white Chevy Silverado to the nightclub Friday, but police have not released whether or not the vehicle has been found.

Investigators have requested surveillance video from the OK Corral. They are hoping Lopez was captured on surveillance video. Officers want to see who he might have spoken to or encountered at the nightclub.

No arrests have been made and authorities say they have not identified any suspects.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the police department’s homicide tip line at (405) 297-1200.

Police are investigating three separate shootings all within a few hours of each other.

Police responded to an attempted robbery that ended in a shootout in a neighborhood, and two other calls of shots fired around the city Wednesday night. They are currently working to see if all three of the incidents are connected.

Police say it all started with bullet casings lining the street on Hawthorne Lane after a drive-by shooting around 6 p.m. The street was shut down for hours as they investigated. They say no one was injured, but a car and a house were hit.

Then about 30 minutes later, police were called to a home on Howard Street for another report of shots fired. We’re told a house was damaged by gunfire, but no one was hurt

The latest incident was around 11 p.m. when a woman on a street flagged an elderly man down and asked him for a ride. Police say she directed him to Hawkins Avenue, where two men walked up to him and pointed guns at him. The woman jumped out of the car and the man tried to drive off, but police say the men fired at his car. That’s when he took out a gun and returned fire until the three ran off. The man’s car and a house were both hit, but again, thankfully no one was hurt.

Police are still trying to determine if all three of these reports of shots fired are related.

Lexington police said Thursday that 75 shootings happened in Lexington last year. As of right now, 44 shootings have happened this year, putting the city about nine ahead compared to the same time last year.

They say that the shootings are not random so neighbors don’t have to worry about being targeted.

“She came down the road honking her horn saying she was burning it down,” he said. “I thought maybe she was just playing around. I didn’t think she was serious.”

He says his stepmom had been upset the property wasn’t left to her after her husband, Rex’s father, died a few months ago.

“She didn’t get all the property, and she wanted all of it,” he said, “and she was upset that she didn’t get everything she wanted, I guess. That’s the only thing I can think of. She didn’t want anyone else to get it. If she couldn’t have it, apparently she didn’t want anyone to have it.”

Firefighters say when they first arrived on scene, she tried to stop them from putting the flames out and told them she was burning it down because she wanted to.

“It’s a shame that it’s happened,” neighbor Paula Adams said. “I hate it for Joyce, because she’s had a hard way losing her husband and everything. I hate that it’s burned down. It’s been here for a long time.”

The video shows a man get on the bike and then slam into a wall. Stinnett chased after the man who was claiming to have been a victim of a hit-and-run. Stinnett said the man then hopped into a white truck and got away with an accomplice.

The video was shared to the LEX 18 Facebook page and the tips started flooding in.

“Literally, a guy said he was scrolling through Facebook he looked up and the guy was right in front of him on New Circle Road,” said Central Kentucky Motorsports Head Technician Derek Halsey.

Halsey said that the bike is likely totaled and the building will need thousands in repair, but he admits, the workers at the shop are enjoying what they call “instant karma”

“I think it’s pretty funny and everybody likes a little instant karma, you know. I think it’s great. I love it and everybody else does too,” he said before laughing.

According to the evidence presented, James Minton, Joyce Minton, and Aaron Brooke Warren conspired
to defraud their employer, Clark Machine Tool and Die, of Nicholasville. The criminal conspiracy
took place from February 2000 through May 2016 and resulted in a loss in excess of $1,500,000. The
conspirators defrauded the business by using company checks and credit cards to purchase personal
items, by cashing and keeping company petty cash checks, by issuing themselves extra paychecks, and
by inflating their paychecks. They also kept money that customers had paid the company for work,
converting those funds to their personal use. Joyce Minton was the office manager and bookkeeper
for the company; Aaron Brooke Warren was the company’s shop supervisor; and James Minton was a
contractor.

On Monday, the jury convicted Joyce Minton of 46 counts of conspiracy, mail fraud, bank fraud, and
money laundering; Aaron Brooke Warren was convicted of 34 counts of conspiracy, mail fraud, and
money laundering; and James Minton was convicted of 7 counts of conspiracy and mail fraud.

Carlton S. Shier, IV, Acting United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky; Amy Hess,
Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation; and Richard W. Sanders, Commissioner of
the Kentucky State Police, jointly announced the verdict.

The case was investigated by the FBI and the Kentucky State Police. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Neeraj
Gupta and Ken Taylor prosecuted the case on behalf of the federal government.

The Defendants are currently scheduled to be sentenced on September 25, 2017, in Lexington. They
face a maximum sentence of 30 years for the convictions, as well as potential restitution and
forfeiture. Any sentence, however, will be imposed by the Court, after it has considered the U.S.
Sentencing Guidelines and the federal statutes governing the imposition of sentences.

Johnson was facing 15 years to life in prison, but in March accepted a plea deal. He pleaded guilty to attempted aggravated sexual abuse of a child, a lesser charge that dropped the mandatory minimum from 15 years to three.

On Tuesday in First District Court, Johnson was ordered to serve three years to life in the prison.

The task force also learned that Garcia had a warrant out for his arrest from Hays County. A grand jury indicted him on two counts of sexual assault of a child and one count of indecency with a child by sexual contact. The grand jury indictment is based on an investigation that began in early 2016.

Task force officers set up surveillance of Garcia’s church, Betania Baptist Church at 1117 Tillery St., where he served as an associate pastor.

“We would urge anyone having reason to believe their child or children may have been encountered inappropriately to contact their local law enforcement agency,” the task force said in a statement.

KSP announced the arrest of four Kentucky National Guard soldiers following the investigation of sexual assault in Calloway County.

KSP said that they responded to Murray-Calloway County Hospital around 10:00 a.m. June 3 for the report of a sexual assault. They were able to take four suspects into custody later that same day.

They say that a preliminary investigation shows that the four were in Calloway County in preparation for weekend deployment. The preliminary investigation also shows that the victim was given alcohol and then sexually assaulted by the four suspects, according to KSP.

The four suspects, who are all in Calloway County Jail, have been identified as

Anthony R. Tubolino, age 25, of Auburn, Kentucky, was arrested and charged with Second Degree Rape, Second Degree Sodomy, and Third Degree Unlawful Transaction with a Minor.

Tyler A. Hart, age 19, of Bowling Green, Kentucky, was arrested and charged with First Degree Sexual Abuse and Second Degree Sodomy.

Austin L. Dennis, age 21, of Munfordville, Kentucky, was arrested and charged with Second Degree Sodomy.

Jacob F. Ruth, age 22, of Munfordville, Kentucky, was arrested and charged with Second Degree Sodomy.

The National Guard assisted KSP during the investigation and has remained cooperative through the investigation.

“Sexual assault is not only a reprehensible act, it is a criminal act. First and foremost our goal is to support the victim of this incident. It is damaging to our morale, to our readiness and to our combat ability. It has no place in the Kentucky National Guard,” said Maj. Gen. Stephen Hogan, Kentucky’s adjutant general. “It goes against all the values we hold dear as service members in the U.S. Military. The men and women of our organization are our greatest resource and we will do all we can to support the victim.”

The investigation continues.
